Status: Not recommended
Ham (Raw) is classified as not recommended for High Blood Pressure based on current dietary assessments. Cold cuts, cheese and spreads are often high in fat and salt while also providing protein and – in cheese – calcium. With high blood pressure, sodium intake through salt is a key consideration; potassium, magnesium and certain fatty acids also feature in dietary assessments. The reasoning given is: extremely high in salt, nitrite-loaded. The assessment is supported by a broad evidence base.
